AI技術現在可以用來測量甜瓜的甜度了!

At a muskmelon store in Haikou in Hainan Province, customers can use artificial intelligence technology to measure the sweetness of the melons on offer, reports .

據澎湃新聞報道，在海南省海口市的一家甜瓜店，顧客可以使用人工智能技術來測量甜瓜的甜度。

Each muskmelon on display has its own certificate that indicates its level of sweetness, ranging from 90 percent, to 70 percent, to half-ripe.

每一個展出的甜瓜都有自己的甜度證書，表明甜度的等級，範圍從九成、七成到半熟的都有。

The measure of sweetness listed on the certificate is based on an AI-assisted add-on inside the popular Alipay payment app.

證書上列出的甜度指標是基於支付寶內的一個人工智能輔助組件。

Customers can upload a picture of a melon into the Alipay add-on, which then provides a report about its sweetness and ripeness.

用戶可以將甜瓜的圖片上傳到支付寶小程序中，然後就會給出甜瓜的甜度和成熟度報告。

Developed by Aliyun, Alibaba's cloud computing and AI subsidiary, the Alipay add-on relies on an AI algorithm trained on more than 150,000 pictures of muskmelons with differing levels of ripeness. Its accuracy is said to be above 90 percent.

這款支付寶小程序是由阿里巴巴的雲計算和人工智能子公司阿里雲開發的，依賴於一個人工智能算法，據稱它學習了150000多張不同成熟度的甜瓜的圖片，準確率據說超過了90%。

Jiang Linbo, the owner of the melon store, said that classifying melons according to their sweetness helps to match the fruit to the customer's tastes.

這家瓜店的老闆江林波稱，根據甜度對瓜進行分類，能滿足顧客的不同口味。

"I think agriculture can be high-end, and I always thought AI technology should be combined with agriculture," he said.

他表示：“我認爲農業可以做的很高級，我一直想把人工智能和農業結合起來。”
